Life Sciences Academy, where policy meets innovation.
Since its inception ten years ago, Life Sciences Academy brings together California policymakers and life sciences thought leaders to discuss policy priorities around patient access and how we can support our scientists and researchers innovating new cures and medical breakthroughs. LSA is exclusively for California Life Sciences’ members.



The 2025 Life Sciences Academy was the largest ever in its 12-year history – 28 legislators and 40+ CLS member companies represented. Both democrat and republican legislators participated in the premiere life sciences education forum to hear directly from patients and to discuss how California can advance policies that improve patient access.
We are incredibly grateful for California lawmakers who support life sciences innovation and the incredible breakthroughs that give patients hope around the world.
